Driver’s punishment: Stand with sign calling herself an ‘idiot’

A driver who went up on a sidewalk to get around a school bus began her sentence Tuesday: She has to stand on a street corner with a sign that says “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.”

Shena Hardin of Ohio was caught on videotape driving her car up on the sidewalk to get past a stopped school bus.

The unusual sentence was handed down last week. She has return again Wednesday.

In the video below, Hardin cries beneath her dark sunglasses as reporters surround her and press her to answer their questions. (Some of them, from this reporter’s view, cross the line by telling her she looks like a fool not answering them and by making other opinionated comments.)
